Socket LGA 1155 Z77 motherboard
The GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H is an ATX board built around the Intel Z77 chipset for second- and third-generation Core i7, i5 and i3 processors. Four 240-pin slots accept DDR3 memory at 1066, 1333, 1600 or 2666 MT/s when overclocked, topping out at 32 GB in dual-channel mode.
Standard ATX layout with legacy PCI slot
Installation follows the usual ATX pattern: nine mounting holes, a 24-pin and an 8-pin power connector, and front-panel headers in the expected positions. The single legacy PCI slot sits below the three PCIe x1 slots, so a long card in the second PCIe 3.0 x16 slot can block the PCI slot; plan card order before tightening screws.
Dual x16 PCIe 3.0 and six USB 3.0 ports
Two PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots run at x16 and x8, giving ample bandwidth for twin graphics cards, while a third x16 slot is wired at x4 via PCIe 2.0. Six rear USB 3.0 ports, two eSATA 6 Gb/s ports and four internal SATA 3 Gb/s ports handle most storage needs; the onboard mSATA connector disables one internal SATA port when populated.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the board is posting correctly after installing a Core i7 LGA 1155 CPU and DDR3 memory?
Power on the system and watch for the BIOS splash screen or listen for a single beep from the onboard speaker; if the display shows the UEFI setup screen or boots to your OS installer, the motherboard is operating as intended.
What components are included with the GA-Z77X-UD3H and what must I source separately?
The box contains the ATX motherboard, I/O shield, SATA cables, driver disc and manual; you will need to purchase an LGA 1155 processor, DDR3 DIMMs, a power supply, storage drives and a chassis separately.
Which memory speed should I select for the four 240-pin slots — 1066, 1333, 1600 or 2666 OC?
For plug-and-play stability choose DDR3 1600 modules; 2666 requires manual overclocking in the BIOS and compatible high-performance DIMMs, while 1066 and 1333 will run at lower bandwidth.
